WCR = White chicks rappin ?

When Conscious handed me this cd (Bombchelle – Blowin Up) and said give it a listen I wondered if he’d taken to the use of narcotics (so many great artists, sadly seem to get captured by the ugly demon). Of course, even as open minded as I am, I still have my moments. So to prove I wasn’t so irrationally bias, and could stomach just about anything, I took this very interesting looking cd, hoping that my brain would not hemorrhage.

First off I’m going to tell you that for the most part I just didn’t dig it. Not because the emcee is white, female nor for the fact that she’s a Jersey gal. No. It’s just not my cup of tea. But, that does not mean that some one else with a taste for this type of music will not in fact enjoy what this lady has to offer. She’s quite positive and very confident. She has aspirations of being the only (wfe) white female emcee doing her thing on a platinum, mainstream level. I wish her luck in her journey from studio sessions to raggedy showcases where performers must sell x-amount of tickets in order to perform for other artists because that’s who the audience is. With seemingly no management and slight misdirection this lady has quite a mountain to climb. But faith moves mountains right? She has faith, so why not?

I think with influence from a real producer and perhaps a seasoned emcee she could take what she already has and make it better. There are songs on her cd that have the potential to be hits. But, they’ve got to be heard. By who, that’s the real question. (She seems like a pretty nice person. Doesn't deserve to be signed as a stage show gimmick) I can’t recall too many PSA’s on albums either in the current rap scene. She has one. ‘Get Tested’ tells a story of a guy who cheats and puts the life of his girl and possible child at stake. She even drops some statistics at the end of the track. ‘World Spinnin’ has a pretty nice chorus and her flow is a lil more creative then it is on the majority of the record. ‘Everyday’, sounds good, she comes off a little rough on some points on a track where the attempt is to be sensual. She sounds genuine though. That’s what matters ultimately.

To end it all I have no profound statement to make or any ground breaking epiphanies to share. What I have are some links to some of Bombchelle’s music for you to check out. Give her a chance. I did.
